For several minutes I thought we would be spending half the night there, but with some mighty tugs while sinking in mud I was able to get the boat over it.
I only have a four inch scab on my leg as a momento of the occasion. I think as I was sinking in the mud it must have scraped a sharp something?
I thought I pulled a muscle in my upper arm too, but after a good dose of ibuprofen that was better.
What's a good trip without a few hairy moments to remember!
The next night on Highland beach watching the sunset with Nanci more than made up for it.
